A-S Hacked

[camaraderie]

Just a quick note for those who post on both sites like me.
A-S was just hacked 6:30 Eastern time on 8/11 so it is NOT your computer with a problem.
CKG is a couple of hours from home so it will be late this evening at the earliest before the site is back up.
Alex will let me know when things are back to normal and I will post here.

Merci mucho for the update.

Who'd Alex piss off? lol
Seriously, I saw the hack and thought "Wow, somebody really needs a better hobby". Lame.

If you google the hacker, it looks like over 100 sites that he hacked are running vbulletin. He may have found a weakness in vbuletin and is making his way around the sites that are running vbulletin. Just a guess, mind you.

I thought it was this stupid mac.

its a script kiddie hack i think. I'm a rev behind on updates which is probably how they got in.

I have backups but as cam said, I'm a ways from home. hard to restore a site while driving

shouldn't take too long but we may lose todays posts.

Thanks for letting us know, Cam & CK - please keep us updated

I guess Sailnet has it's uses after all - despite the ads..

catching wont matter. he's outside the us so not likely i'd be able to prosecute anyway.
